This manga reviews the current view of the role of woman in Japan, which is quite accurate. It questions the stereotype of woman in Japan, where woman are viewed as someone who takes care of home only. Knowing how harsh Japan is on woman, it is easy to empathize with the characters The struggle of the three main characters in their pursue in happiness is presented very well. In Japan, woman are taught that they must get married in order to attain happiness and that being a bride is the ultimate goal of their life. Seeing how the three characters struggle to find happiness in asociety that emphasize marriage is an enlightening experience.

But the best part is the replies to the letter from readers by Higashimura herself at the end of each chapter. She gives advice to woman who are facing similar crisis in their life. The advice is quite interesting. I recommend everyone to read that part.
